Hidden Gems by Carrie Alexander

Having dumped her current boyfriend and returning early from their vacation, Marissa Suarez becomes entwined in the theft of the White Star when Jean Luc Allard hides it in her luggage. Upset and needing comfort, Marissa turns to her long time, platonic friend Jamie Wilson for comfort. But the old friends become lovers when danger forces them together – an attempted mugging and a burglary are only the beginning, leaving Marissa and Jamie trying to unravel the mystery behind problems.

The second book in the White Star series is even better than the first. A great plot, believable characters and a realistic ending all contribute toward the great read. In fact, the only problem I can find with this book is the fact that I can't read the next story.
